Hm 09025 has immediatly gone on the stop list though. I'd rather a loco be working than be a pretty museum piece

As long as it doesnt sound as unhealthy as the GCR's Class 10.....I believe the Silencer has now totally broken, it was shunting the DMU today, and it applied full power to run around, and cue loads of clag, and one hell of a noise, probably louder than a HST applying full power, but without Scream....closer to Pneumatic Drill.

Me and TomNick just grinned when it went past.
